Summary:
This paper presents a method of improving the note-taking process. That can be very useful for classes--if done correctly. One thing to keep in mind: this is a design paper, not an implementation paper. The user presents the design and the lo-fi prototype studies, but has not created the actual system.
InkSeine will fundamentally rely on text recognition. Since that has not been perfected, I do not foresee InkSeine being perfected until text recognition is perfected.
Discussion:
Doing this one correctly is a problem, because the optimal set of needs for note-taking differs from user to user. There are also users who prefer pen-and-paper for note-taking (I'm one of them). Now that I think of it, Professor Kerne has done something that is slightly similar: combinFormation. From what I gather, this particular interface is not "fast" enough to support real-time note taking in class, escpecially at the rate some professors talk and write. InkSeine also seems to be somewhat dependent on having the relevant materials on hand for searching (instead of searching on the Internet, for example). InkSeine is one of the many applications that would benefit from perfect text recognition.
You are right about the user dependence on this application. It is very hard to cover all users, and they do not really show results and problems they had in recognition. In fact text recognition is one of the major problems here and it would benefit from "perfect" recognition, although I do not see that coming since humans are not perfect writers. I would like to see a recognizer that can understand the hand-notes of my physician, cause I cannot recognize them myself.
ReplyDeletein my opinion, we dont need sketch recognition in situation like of note taking apps, really!!! when we are using the pen and pad do we need to to copy paste later on?? Nop......so why we wont to actually recognize characters, just make it simple, put all the ink features what the user is drawing to the app.........simple as that
